The sixth year of work at Dallas College will begin Monday, September 25, at 10 a. m., with informal exercises in the college chapel. President C. C. Poling will be present to preside at the meeting. He will present some of the views one gets of the work of the college at long range, and will tell of what may be expected from the friends of the school in the eastern states. Prof. C. A. Mock, the new member of the faculty, who will have charge of the department of ancient languages and literature, will make his first appearance before a Dallas audience at this time and will address the students. The other members of the faculty for 1905-6 will all be on hand and ready for any service that may make the most of the work for the school during tke coming year. With the return of Dr. Poling and the advent of Dr. Mock, Dallas College will enter upon its next year's session with an exceptionally strong corps of in structors, which assures a year of most effectual school work. The student body will also be strengthened by the coming of some exceptionally promising young people. This gives assurance of strong public work in the literary societies, the athletic field and the christian asso ciations, as well as in other school enterprises. It takes a strong student body, as well as a strong faculty, to make a strong school. From present indica tions, it appears that this happy com bination will be reached and that the coming year will by many odds be the greatest in the history of the institution. All are invited to be present at the opening exercises. Come and enjoy the hour and lend your encouraging presence to boost this good work along. v. ai. MirztjJiiii, Dean of the Faculty. AS OTHERS SEE US Editor 01 Prominent Chicago Medical Journal Gives a Few Impressions of Oregon. Dr. Arthur Butler sends us a copy of the Alkaloidal Clinic containing a graphic description of the editor's recent visit to Portland and the Lewis and Clark Fair. The Alkaloidal Clinic is one of the leading medical publications of America, and the opinions of its editor are worth while. He says : "The meetinor of the American Med ical Association at Portland will rank as one of the most successful in the history of the Association. The Lewis and Clark Exposition, the professional attractions and the glorious climate of the Northwest, combined induce ments the doctor could not resist; and long before the meeting closed the registration had climbed up over 1,000 and the doctor brought his wife along too. For the delightful excur sion up the river more than 3,000 guests showed up. Theentertainments were lavish and unique beyond any thing in the history of the Association. Never has the A. M. A. been so enter tained : never has a local profession done anything which can be compared with that which was accomplisned Dy the doctors of Portland. "The climate of Portland must be -li near perfection, n noi specially arranged for our visit. Even in July a litrht overcoat was agreeable in tne evenings, while it is said that frosts are rare in winter and an men 01 snow is the limit. Flowers bloom out side, the year round, in tins itose City, the roses being gorgeous during mir visit, thouch said to be at their best a month earlier.

The oysters were fine also, despite the month being without an 'r.' "The Exposition was not extensive compared with those of Chicago and St Louis, but good, and especially attractive as to the displays made by Oregon, Washington, California, Montana, Idaho and Utah in mining, agricalture and education."
